SmartPass empowers both students and educators, minimizes classroom disruptions, maximizes instructional time, and makes classroom management easier and less stressful.
For decades, teachers have managed methods for students leaving class with signout sheets, lanyards, and other cumbersome objects. While some may feel they’ve come up with a manageable solution in their room, they have had no way to know what students were doing in other teachers’ rooms. Administrators have had little data on trends like frequent flyers, relying primarily on anecdotal evidence.
When asked by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), 48% of schools surveyed reported that “rowdiness outside of the classroom” had increased. Maintaining record of who has been out of class, when, and why is important for data-led discussions when students are struggling.
SmartPass provides schools with a unified hall pass system that keeps this digital record. But it goes beyond just digital passes. Customers say SmartPass configurations and features make it a “gamechanger.” Room limits for destinations with virtual lines, hallway max capacity, pass limits, and encounter prevention between students all work together to address issues before they happen. By incorporating bell schedules and classes, SmartPass can now report on Missed Class Time per class–an early datapoint for intervention long before grades are out.
“SmartPass has been one of the most impactful investments we’ve made in the last five years… The biggest difference for us is that we see fewer students where they shouldn’t be and more students where they should be—which is in the classroom,” says one user.
For these reasons and more, SmartPass Pro Digital Hall Pass System is a Cool Tool Award (Winner) for “Best Classroom Management Solution” as part of The EdTech Awards 2025 from EdTech Digest. Learn more.
